be sincerely regretted. He is a man of the
highest standing and thoroughly ac-
quainted with the duties Of the Office.
Mayor Hewitt acted wisely in Offering
this position TO him, and in urging him to take
it even temporarily. until the Mayor could find
another fit man. This Office is conspcuouIy
one to be kept out of politics.
The decision rendered by the United States
Supreme Court yesterday, concerning the treat.
ment of the Chinese, it is to he feared, may
have an unfortunate effect. The Court holds
that the United States undoubtedly has power
to provide for the punishment Of those who
are guilty of depriying Chinese subjects of the
rights guaranteed them 10y treaty but the
Court apparently can find no statute to give
effect TO this power. For that reason it orders
the discharge of a man arrested under Fed
eral statute for driving Chinese out of a Cal
ifornia town. If there is no such law in ex-
istence it is hardly likely that Democratic
House will pass one.
The opening of Part H. of the Court Of
General Sessions gives promise Of putting an
end to much of the delay in the trial Of persons
accused of breaking the laws, especially in
Excise cases. Many hquorSellers have been

sum Of 500 and gone on with their illegal
business. AS there was no chance of being
called to trial, they could do this with impunity
But now it is stated, they will ask TO have their
cases taken back to the Special Sessions, where
speedy trials are the rule. In the new branch

We are going home. Men shiver at the
idea that they are going to die; but this
world is only nest. We are scarcely
Matched out of it here. We do not know
ourselves. We have strange feelings that
do not interpret themselves. The mortal
in US is crying for the immortal. AS in
the night the child, waking with some
vague and nameless terror, cries out to
express its fear and dread, and its cry Is
interpreted in the mothers heart, who
runs to the child and lays her HAND upon
it and quiets it to sleep again, SO God
hears our disturbances, trials and tribula-
tions of life. Do you not suppose that He
who is goodness itself cares for you? Do
you suppose that He whose royal name is
Love has less sympathy for you than the
mother has for her babe? Let the world
rock If the foot of GOD is on the cradle,
fear not. Look up, take courage, hope
and hope unto the end.

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

The bridge where the accident occurred
was built in July, 1876. 1t was 400 feet
in length, 20 feet in height and spanned
the road; resting on heavy stone walls.
The grade of the road is very heavy and
there is sharp curve where the bridge
crosses the highway. The latter runs
diogonally under the bridge, and the
abutments upon which the structure rests
are set at sharp angles. The bridge was
designed for double track but only
single track crosses it new and the ex-
perts cannot understand how both trusses
were carried down when the bearing
comes upon only one.
Mr. Manley, of the city engineers
Office made careful inspection of the
bridge soon after 1T mad fallen. He said
there was no apparent reason for Its CIV
ing way or for the breaking Of the iron
work. It seems as if some force had
drawn it forward and thrown it from its
: caring. D. l.. Davis, of the Boston d
Q vid ence ailway, considered one of the
best railroad men in the cOuntay, ex-
pressed similar opinion.
A Mr.. Blaisdell, who was crossing from
the first to the second car just as the train
struck the bridge says he observed brok-
Ell journal hanging down. This would &C
count for carrying the whole bridge off the
abutments bad flaw has been found
near the end of 12-inch truss, which
rests few feet above the debris. 1t
shows diagonal fracture of the iron, II
inches long, of which eight inches IS black
with rust, while the rest of the fracture
is fresh. The first sign of violence to
the cars is upon the woodwork of the sec
ond truck of the first car. violent blow
from underneath fractured 4xlO inch
timber, the framework of the truck mid
way between the rails and between the
| two axles. The blow lifted the truck
| from the track and derailed the cars.
Engineer White says that in going
across the bridge he felt shock which he
thought might have been caused by
broken axle. This, however, could not
possibly have been the first cause of the
| accident, for the trucks of the first two
cars are in good condition, except as re-
CARDS the point above mentioned. The
only remaining possible cause is brok
| en- rail. 1t is doubtful if any examination
on THE point would result satisfactorily
for there are many of them twisted and
| broken.

MANGLED REMAINS.

The scene of the bridge shortly after
the disaster was terrible. In one place
the bodies taken out were placed in a
row. All were badly mangled. Large
numbers of women were on the train and
many were to be seen in the ruins. One
woman was cut completely in two-the
upper half only being found. Two men
who were saved had their faces hacked,
and the lips of one were cut off. Con-
ductor Tilden was in the third car which
remained on top of the embankment, and
on the ground directly underneath where
he was standing when killed is pool of
blood, while half of the debris of that
coach is spattered with blood. Underneath
this coach were picked up the breast and
lungs af human being, possibly ipor
ton of the conductors body. That the
horrors of fire were not added to the terrible
disaster was due to the promptnoss with
which relief was sent. The chemical en-
CINE from Roslindale was at tho scene
within twenty minutes after the wreck &C
Cured, brought by letter carrier, who
gave an alarm of fire upon observing
flames issuing from the debris. The
flames were soon extinguished and the
fremen then did excellent work In res
cuing the Injured.
